Mosquito diseases are major public health concerns in India, particularly affecting babies. To address this, there is a focus on natural methods to combat mosquito problems. In the past, cotton nets were used to protect babies from mosquito bites, but now, polyester nets have largely replaced them. Cotton is preferred for its ease of use, maintenance, and soft natural structure. This study aims to create an anti-microbial mosquito net for babies using cotton infused with mimosa pudica extract, harvested, shadow dried, and processed into a fine powder, then extracted with methanol to observe the anti-microbial properties using Dip and Shadow dry method and the effectiveness of this approach was tested on SEM, FTIR, and mosquito repellent tests to ensure the stability of the anti-microbial properties in the cotton net. This research highlights the benefits of mimosa pudica and natural methods for protecting babies from mosquito bites without using any chemicals, making it environmentally friendly.
